We are already seeing an explosion of AI regulation that is designed to ban open source while claiming to be neutral.
SB 1047 designates a "hazardous capability" to include what a third party can show with infinite fine-tuning and re-training. Meanwhile, closed models get points
The thread also contains fear mongering about open source.
Unless you think catastrophic harms are going to happen left & right with open source projects, it’s absolutely false to say this “de facto criminalizes open source.”
+ these are civil sanctions, not criminal liability!

There were a fair number of conservative Catholics and "theocons" teaching at Georgetown when I was an undergrad there.
Deneen's seminar on the Humane Economy was the only time I was ever assigned an encyclical (all of the core texts of Catholic Social Thought).
A look at how Vance advances the ideas and ambitions of writers like Patrick Deneen, Adrian Vermeule, and Sohrab Ahmari. I also contrast these ideas and ambitions to those of the conservative Catholics I wrote about a generation ago in The Theocons.

That’s right. As everyone knows, after Microsoft was forced to end some of its self-preferencing policies in 2001, Internet innovation ground to a halt. No one wanted to build software for PCs, and investment in the entire sector declined.

But, I argue in the piece, the impact is bigger than politics. State secrecy acts like dark matter, always threatening to upset our world of facts on a time delay. It's a major source of our ongoing epistemic anxiety.
McLuhan was right when he said the fascination with nostalgia is because people don't have a stable sense of self in the present; in a similar way, I think a fascination with conspiracy theories is directly related to a sense of epistemic collapse and confusion.

But here's the thing: I'd rather be governed by literal, off-the-shelf ChatGPT that most of the people on the Republican debate stage.
Chris Christie on Vivek: "I've had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT."
